Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I think the internet is smart enough to place ads specifically to you based on your interests.

So, while your screen shows ads on how to use options, my screen has ads for viagra and hair replacement.

You are fortunate.. mine only wants me to review my arrest record.

Which really makes no sense to me. Could I not be out piddling around in a GA airplane before my trip? Would that not be duty?

No one stood up to act as maker for any of the "ideas" therefore they never became resolutions and couldn't be voted on.

Heyas C90,

Told you so. Rather than take good advice from folks who were trying to help you, you decided to characterize them as "flamers."

... and FWIW applying Council 20 logic to Council 44 does not work very well either. Why not get a friend to put your resolutions up in C20, or simply use the C2015 conference calls to advance your agenda to the MEC?

... and stop calling people names who are trying to give you a good vector ;)

Really? I mean, really?

In the initial drafts of the regulation there was no distinction between commuting and deadhead. ALPA (for one) worked to make that distinction.

If you propose we get rid of everything non work related that keeps us from rest, we need to start with our children, ...

Has anyone done this? Was it a problem?

I am 10% service connected (Knee) and it has never been a problem. I suppose it depends on what your applying for.

I still mention it when I fill out the form online, under previously reported.

10% disability for hearing loss on VA retirement physical. The class 1 ppwk asks you about it and I just write in what is in my first sentance.

Aside from me using a wrong term though.....i got "ripped" "shredded" "chewed" however you wanna put it, for simply asking for help since I couldn't make the meeting. And then I got chewed again because I had prior engagements at home that prevented me from going to Peachtree City.

Thanks for all your "help"

Also wondering what it does besides display charts.

It would sure be a shame to wait all that time for something that just displays charts--any pdf reader could've done that, heck, a Kindle Paperwhite will run for days. Rather than fuss with the mount, the display and the software updates, this thing will probably just sit in my flight kit until they take away the paper jepps. Can't use it below 10K anyhow, why risk a violation?
